Château de Fan stands in Lussan (Gard), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century). No visits are on record for this building.

At Lussan, just below the old town, the Château de Fan displays its three corner towers in a style inspired by Italian architecture, unusual in the Gard region. Built in the 17th century by a lord returning from campaigns in Italy, it went through a succession of uses, a hostelry during the Revolution, a home to the Gide family, a gendarmerie, before becoming private property again. Today visitors can observe its architecture from the outside, with Tuscan and composite columns and a roof of Roman tiles.
